Steadfast Housing Development Corp

Steadfast Housing Development Corp, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Honolulu, Hawaii, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on homeless services and permanent supportive housing under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Continuum of Care (CoC) Program (CFDA 14.267). The organization has received 103 federal awards since 2003, with 101 serving as prime grants (98% of its footprint) and 2 as sub-recipient awards under Aloha United Way. Steadfast's entire customer base consists of a single federal agency — the HUD Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development — which funds all of its grant activity.

Steadfast's core capabilities center on permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, rental assistance, case management, temporary shelter operations, and homeless management information systems (HMIS) to address homelessness in the Honolulu metropolitan area. Recent CoC Program grants include a $758,289 award issued September 1, 2025, with completion targeted for August 31, 2026; a $261,997 award dated December 1, 2025, completing November 30, 2026; and a $632,433 grant from September 2024 through August 2025. Eligible activities funded under these awards encompass acquisition and rehabilitation of housing structures, new construction, supportive services, permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, and coordinated entry operations. Steadfast also collaborates with Aloha United Way on expanded permanent supportive housing initiatives under the Housing Plus program, where it receives sub-recipient funding for permanent supportive housing services.

Steadfast's activity pattern reflects consistent annual funding across a narrow, specialized mission. The past five years show a steady clip of four to six awards per year (2022–2024), with slight contraction to four awards in 2025 and one award to date in 2026. The organization's combined dollars obligated across its entire 103-award footprint total $16.9 million. Three awards currently outstanding face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity in that window. Because Steadfast's entire footprint flows through a single federal grantor and a single grant program, the organization functions as a specialized service provider rather than a federal contractor diversified across agencies or contract vehicles.
